“Speaking of fools, the Federation actually has a group of truly shrewd people.”

“It’s been many years, hasn’t it? How many new gods have been born from the Death Screening Plan?”

Yan Xia suddenly remembered that gods still existed in the Federation.

Ever since the last time the gods were summoned and then killed in Four-Dimensional space by the Homeworld Civilization, only a few gods remained, and they no longer participated in wars on a large scale.

“283.”

Ella immediately replied.

It knew all about these matters.

“Too few!”

The Federation was already so vast, yet there were only three-digit numbers of gods; even at their peak, there seemed to have only been four-digit numbers.

“There’s no helping it; we made the gods too extreme back then.”

“Although many new gods appear every hundred years, old gods also fall every hundred years.”

Ella pulled up the number of gods who had fallen in the past 10,000 years.

3,128.

Although gods had many ways to avoid death, it wasn't 100%.

Actually, if one only considered the probability of a god falling, it was only 1%, meaning there was a 99% chance of not dying.

But the actual probability was not like that.

Because there was time.

After adding the time axis, even a 0.0001% probability would eventually become 100% at some point.

In other words, gods were bound to die.

In fact, including Yan Xia and Ella, they were also bound to die, because life could not be endless; this was a matter with great variables.

It was just a matter of whether 100% was reached within 100 years, or 10,000 years, or even 100 million years, or even 1 trillion years.

“New geniuses can only be born in harsh conditions.”

“And now, they have reached the best era.”

“The power of gods was previously unable to rival a warship, then they gained the strength of a warship but could not rival a Consciousness Warrior.”

“And then, they themselves became Consciousness Warriors, possessing the strength of millions of warships.”

“Now, if the Goddess of War becomes the body of a god, they can even reach the combat power of a 2.5-level Civilization.”

One god could destroy one 2.5-level Civilization.

Several hundred gods could destroy one 2.6-level Civilization.

As for a 2.7-level Civilization, tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands might not even be enough.

Because the technology they used was only 2.7-level, so when their mass was smaller than a 2.7-level Civilization, it was impossible to destroy a 2.7-level Civilization.

“Do you want to send gods to contact the Green Hell?” Ella asked.

Yan Xia had this idea, which Ella had just detected.

However, after thinking carefully, Yan Xia shook his head.

“No need.”

“We still don’t know what that place is; there’s no difference between gods and Qu Minggui there.”

“If there truly is something there, we’ll directly use system-annihilation weapons, but first, we need to rule out whether that side can absorb the energy of system-annihilation level weapons.”

“Didn’t the report say that it can even plunder the energy of a temporary black hole?”

Qu Minggui’s guess was correct.

The Green Hell had already used black hole weapons.

super-range weapon level.

But it was useless.

The black holes created by black hole weapons had no mass carrier; they merely caused a region of space-time to collapse momentarily.

It was like pressing a finger into a sponge; if the finger only stayed for an instant, the sponge would recover, and only if the finger remained for a long time could the hole also remain.

The black holes created by black hole weapons, when they appeared instantly, would begin to profusely scatter energy outwards.

The Green Hell’s utilization rate of energy was terrifyingly high; after absorbing those, it also compensated for the damage caused by the black hole weapons.

“We do need to be careful, otherwise, it might become an accelerant for that thing.”

Ella prepared a cup of tea to replenish neural activity for Yan Xia, holding it and placing it beside Yan Xia.

The Host cabin was full of creation particles; Ella’s virtual projection could directly manipulate these creation particles to form a body for itself, allowing it to touch physical entities.

It stood by, quietly watching Yan Xia work, engrossed.

After a few hours, its body moved slightly.

“What’s the matter now?” Yan Xia asked.

Under normal circumstances, Ella wouldn’t move; even if it received information, this body occupied less than one hundred quintillionth of its total computing power, so it couldn't be reflected in its body.

Therefore, if Ella moved, it must be something that made it hesitate whether or not to tell Yan Xia.

It wasn’t something that absolutely had to be told, but it also felt like not telling wasn’t quite right.

And at this time, Yan Xia would make the decision for it.

“Regarding the wormhole situation, the probe has already reached the other side of the wormhole. According to measurements, it is indeed as Nuopeidan said.”

“There must also be a black hole on the other side of the wormhole passage, which was already expected. Even a 3-level Civilization cannot modify the physical rules of a wormhole-level.”

“Even the Wormhole Affairs Office is like this; upon predicting arrival, it instantly creates a momentarily existing black hole, connecting it to another stably existing black hole’s warped space-time.”

The Wormhole Affairs Office’s technology was extremely complex; even the data calculations alone consumed over 5 years of Ella’s time.

If converted to the computing power of the 21st century earth era, it would require at least 100 quintillion quintillion quintillion quintillion quintillion quintillion years of computation from all computers on Earth.

This was even just a portion of the calculation amount, assuming the relevant technology was obtained.

“Have Civilization traces been detected?”

That was the most important thing.

“Too many!”

“NGC6397, a Star cluster with 400,000 Stars, and also containing 53 black holes within it.”

“Such a Star cluster could not possibly be overlooked by an Unknown Civilization.”

Star clusters were the remnants of ancient dwarf planets absorbed by the Milky Way.

Therefore, they contained a large number of Stars and black holes.

For example, NGC6397, whose age is 13.4 billion years, is almost as old as the universe.

Of course, that’s if the universe is truly only as old as currently estimated.

The mass of a single nebula is enough for an Unknown Civilization to use as a Civilization center, let alone a Star cluster.

Even now, if the entire Civilization Federation were to enter it and develop, it could meet energy supply without needing to expand.

2.7-level, scattered energy from millions of Stars.

Actually, a 2.7-level Civilization can directly mine Star energy without collecting scattered energy, so only 100,000 are needed to satisfy their needs.

There are even black holes inside.

“According to the Zhu Zhen Civilization, those Star clusters have been favored places for Civilization since their era.”

“If the entire Milky Way is compared to the ocean, then Star clusters are like resource-rich islands within it.”

“Although the owners have changed batch after batch, as long as it’s not above a 3-level Civilization, 400,000 Stars are enough for a conventional top-tier Civilization to fully exploit for hundreds of millions of years.”

Under the condition of no waste.

The Federation was also currently mining Star energy, but much of it was quite crude.

It could be said that for every 1 joule of energy mined, at least 50 joules of energy would be wasted.

“Islands?”

“These places are also what you call strategically important locations, right?”

“The Civilizations in there must have gone through a long period of fierce fighting to become the masters.”

“However… it’s just a small-scale fight.”

Battles in a village can only determine the king of thugs; no matter how fierce, when the imperial soldiers from outside arrive, they are like rats.

And the Federation, is the imperial soldiers from outside.

Ella also confirmed this point.

“Analysis of the returned images shows that their Civilization strength is only 2.6-level.”

“Moreover, from the scale, it’s highly probable that several Civilizations are co-governing.”

This reminded Yan Xia of the “Central Dynasty.”

In ancient times, only in the Central Dynasty would there be a situation where multiple different forces co-governed.

Today’s Human Civilization actually possesses such a heritage.

Whether it’s bloodline or knowledge.

Although the Federation is called the Federation, Yan Xia’s own Han culture has always influenced the entire Human Civilization.

“Then we will have to act as the Huns from outside and end their Hundred Schools of Thought.”

“How much longer until our fleet arrives?”

The fleet’s speed was not much slower than the probe.

“At most 100 years.”

“After all, preparations still need to be made.”

“More information from that side can also be collected, to avoid misjudgment.”

“After all, our enemies also misjudged our strength, which ultimately led to their failure.”

Ella was referring to Destiny Ring Star.

Such lessons must be learned; one cannot fall into such a trap themselves.

War, after all, was time-consuming and costly.

Once entangled in it, the entire Federation could not afford it, and ultimately, efforts might be in vain.
